Definitions
- This invention is directed toward a device for controlling livestock and, more particularly, to a device having multiple means for controlling livestock.
- An animal control device having a stem with a gripping portion at one end and an electric prod head at the opposite end.
- the gripping portion has a button or switch that is electrically connected to the electric prod head.
- the paddle body Connected to the stem is a paddle body.
- the paddle body has a hollow chamber and a channel that extends through the chamber for receiving the stem.
- the hollow chamber has at least one subchamber for maintaining noisemakers.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an animal control device
- FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of an animal control device
- FIG. 3 is a partial top plan sectional view of an animal control device.
- an animal control device 10 has a hollow stem 12 having a first end 14 and a second end 16 . Attached to the first end 14 is a handle or gripping portion 18 . Preferably, the gripping portion 18 is formed to comfortably receive an individual's hand. Extending through the gripping portion 18 is an activation button or switch 20 .
- the electric prod head 22 is of any size, shape, and structure.
- the prod head 22 has a tubular body 24 having a first end 26 and a second end 28 .
- the first end 26 has a centrally located bore 30 that receives the second end 16 of stem 12 .
- Extending outwardly from the second end 28 of body 24 are a pair of shocking electrodes 32 .
- the shocking electrodes 32 are connected to leads 33 that extend through body 24 and into the hollow stem 12 .
- the hollow stem 12 extends through a paddle body 34 that is positioned between the gripping portion 18 and the electronic prod head 22 and, preferably, adjacent the electronic prod head 22 .
- the paddle body 34 is of any size and shape and has a top wall 36 , a bottom wall 38 , a pair of side walls 40 , and a pair of end walls 42 to form a hollow chamber 44 .
- a flap or door 46 is formed from a portion of the top wall 36 that extends from a fold line or hinge 48 partially down end walls 42 to one of the side walls 40 .
- the flap 46 is releasably attached to the bottom portion of the side wall 40 with a fastening member 50 , such as, a clasp or snap fit.
- the paddle body 34 includes a top section and a bottom section that fit together.
- a channel 52 that receives the hollow stem 12 and at least one subchamber 54 that receives noise making members, such as BB's and the like.
- the switch 20 is electrically connected to electrodes 32 , such that when activated, high potential shocking current is provided to the electrodes.
- Electric current is provided in a number of ways. In one example, a battery or batteries 56 , a voltage step-up transformer 58 , and a vibrating member 60 , all connected in a circuit 62 , provides the electric current.
- the circuit 62 is connected to leads 33 .
- the circuit is disposed within the handle 18 , or alternatively, is disposed within a second subchamber 64 within the hollow chamber 44 of the paddle body 34 .
- the paddle body 34 is used to move, guide, direct, and separate livestock in a pen, stall, or chute.
- electrodes 32 are placed on the animal and button 20 is manually activated.
- button 20 By activating button 20 , an electric circuit is completed allowing current from batteries 56 to travel through leads 22 to electrodes 32 providing a shock to the animal.
- Flap 46 provides access to hollow chamber 44 to replace batteries 56 and provide maintenance and repair.
